How do you loosen the harness straps? They are snug for snowsuits. Someone said press down and pull out. Press down what button & where? ty

There is a button that would be between the child's legs, closer to where their feet would be. You should also see a strap there. The button is metal. As you push down on the button, pull on the strap and it will loosen. Then if you need to tighten the straps, pull on the strap down by the button.

There is a hidden 'button' on the front of the chair (right near their legs). It's under a mini flap, tricky to find, but very easy to use once you do!

In between where your child sits there is an orange button with a strap coming out of it, press the button in and pull on the strap. Also check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awNCfb2PC5I

Between your child's legs there is a button where the pull strap comes out. Just above that, push down and pull out on the two chest straps evenly. Note that if you pull on one only it may just loosen the other side. Also it is not advised for your child to wear a snowsuit or jacket of any kind while using this seat. It specifically warns that its safety features work only without extra layers of clothing.

It's behind the seat. You must remove seat from car & adjustment for straps is exposed. Hope that helps.

Where the singl strap comes out on the lower front of the seat. There is a tab in the hole you push down on while pulling on the straps at the top, or over the child's chest. Make sure when you release the tab the straps secure in place. Good Luck

The button is in the middle where the feet hang down its kind of deep in there.

pull on the excess strap. to release, push down the metal tab to release. pretty much exactly like this: http://www.amazon.com/SmartStraps-146-Green-Capacity-Cambuckle/dp/B000X1YUZC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393801054&sr=8-1&keywords=cambuckle

I highly recommend using a harness. The one that we use is the SpareParts Joque harness. It fits perfectly

When I was deciding on a car seat, I purchased (and returned) 4 other seats, and this particular problem (being able to reach the seat-belt release) is a deficiency of all the seats I tried that have booster or shoulder belt convertibility. While my son did release it once, I came "unglued" and seem to have sufficiently scared him from ever touching the buckle again. Additionally, I found that if I have the harness tightened appropriately (making sure he only has 2 fingers of space) he can't reach it. The biggest deciding factor for me was that my son was unable to fully free himself once strapped in properly (he was able to loosen the straps on the other brands and unbuckle and then he was out!) The Frontier 90's harness strap release button is to far in for his fingers to reach it.

The key is to take the tension off the cord that tightens up around the dog after you have put the tension on. They it just pulls over his head and out from under his legs. Getting it on right is harder. You have to make sure the leg loops are in the right place when you slip it on and that the ring with the pull cord is up and in the right direction. It takes a little practice, but it's a great harness. My dogs like it and willing help me get them in it--probably because they know that means they're getting out! Hope that helps.

I don't generally loosen the straps each time I take him out. It was harder when he was a newborn because I didn't want to hurt him wrestling his limbs out of the harness! But now he is a few months old and actually moves his arm to help me get him out. If I have to tighten the harness while he is in it, I try and figure out how much I need to tighten it before I buckle it since it is really difficult to pull the strap to tighten it while it is buckled.

Take out the metal part and pull. It was tight for me initially but easier now. If it's not coming out pull harder!

If you're referring to the handle I had the same problem. They are very simple and cheaply made. The wires in the handle come away from the switch. Open the handle and tape wire harness into position. Worked for me. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Don't know that your doing anything wrong. We just step on the pedal, drop the diaper in, and let go of the pedal and it pulls it down. When you change your bag are you pulling it through some and then tying the knot? That might could be a problem. Maybe when you change the bag pull down about a 1/2 to a foot of bag tie knot and then see if that helps maybe its just been to snug. We love ours.

There is a metal clip on both the sides through which the straps pass. all you need to do is press each clip and hold it while you pull or adjust the strap

I had the same problem when wearing stiff snow boots. I've switched to waterproof hiking boots and it seems to work better. Still have to cinch them very tight when starting out.

Unfortunately it is not working for us. We bought the smallest one but she can get it off. I shortened the straps and still gets it off.

I do find it more difficult than our other Britax. I always have to readjust the shoulder straps and make sure the chest piece is in correct position for it to tighten correctly. Pulling straight out is the only way it will work though. Good luck!

I am not sure what you are asking Angela. So if you are talking about lifting and lowering the vehicle you just turn the to the right to lift and to the left to lower. If you are talking about holding it in place there is a little round knob at the base where the handle is inserted. when you insert the end of tube into the hole there is a square piece that goes inside the end of the handle tube. After that goes in a little bit, pull the knob straight back. it is spring loaded and you will feel the tension on it as you pull it back. Then push the handle in the rest of the way and let the knob go back in. it will lock the handle in. I hope this helps you. I am not sure what you are asking Angela.

I gave up, I just pull them in. I found removable rail clips so I put the bumpers under the seats or in the back out of the way. Careful with removable clips, if the bumpers are left down they can tear away and you loose the bumper. Been there done that!

insert the straps into the buckle in the opposite way that you are doing it. i know it seems counter-intuitive - i had the exact same problem! so basically, you are inserting the strap through the "back" side of the buckle (the extra strap will come out like a tongue through a dragon's teeth). once you do that, when the buckle clamps, it will hold. these are really super rings, easy on the hands and durable (i have had them outside all summer). but they really should include some visual instructions. hope this helps!
